Affiliate Disclosure

How affiliate links work

An affiliate link is a tracked link that may generate compensation for Bitcoin Plaster if a reader completes a qualifying action, typically a signup, purchase, or other defined step, after clicking it. The specific qualifying action varies by partner.

What does not vary: the presence of an affiliate link does not change Bitcoin Plaster’s editorial reasoning behind a recommendation or the standard by which a tool is evaluated.

Where readers see disclosures

When a Bitcoin Plaster page or article contains affiliate links, that individual page carries its own visible disclosure on the page itself.

This master disclosure page does not replace per-piece transparency. A reader landing directly on a monetized article should understand its commercial context without having to navigate elsewhere to find it.

No undisclosed commercial routing

Bitcoin Plaster does not embed affiliate links inside recommendation language without disclosing them. Commercial relationships are not presented as neutral navigation. Readers are not pushed through monetized paths without clarity about the relationship.

If a link can earn Bitcoin Plaster money, the page carrying that link says so.

Partner availability is not recommendation authority

A partner relationship does not make a tool worth recommending. The absence of a partner relationship does not make a tool unworthy of consideration.

Recommendation authority comes from the reasoning, evidence, and fit behind a claim, not from whether a commercial program happens to exist. Bitcoin Plaster treats partner availability as a commercial fact about distribution, not as an input to editorial judgment.

How commissions support the publication

Commissions, when they occur, help fund the time required to research, write, review, and maintain Bitcoin Plaster's public material.

That support is not a route to favorable coverage. It does not soften the standards applied to any specific tool, product, or claim. It does not buy placement, ranking, or recommendation. The editorial logic on a monetized page is the same editorial logic applied on an unmonetized one.

What this means for readers

On monetized pages, readers can expect:

• a visible local disclosure on the page itself;
• editorial reasoning that stands on its own merits, independent of any commission;
• and accurate information about what a product does, who it suits, and where it does not fit.

What Bitcoin Plaster does not do with affiliate relationships:

• publish undisclosed monetized routing;
• imply a product is appropriate for everyone;
• replace explanation with urgency;
• present commissions as evidence of quality;
• or blur the line between a partner relationship and an editorial conclusion.

Raising a disclosure concern

Readers who notice a missing local disclosure, an unclear commercial relationship, or any other transparency issue can raise it through the Contact / Corrections page. Disclosure concerns are treated as correctable matters, not as complaints to be deflected.
